It's been years since I attended my last mod do, so I don't know what's being played nowadays, but in this particular instant I'd vote for David Newman's "Miss Minnie", Max Harris' "Gurney Slade" and a left field choice: the John Renbourn cover of "Sweet potato" (hey, how about the idea of an unplugged mod session?)

Max Harris, often in my playbox

Love that Max Harris tune. I've got "The Strange World of Gurney Slade" DVD (I'm an unashamedly Anthony Newley fan ) and when I heard that theme tune I thought, 'This is Mose Allison'...

So have I, Ady - years ahead of it's time (with its blatant breaching of the "fourth wall" etc.) !!

and, yep ... the tune does have more than a passing resemblance to "Parchman Farm"
